What Agbeko did was box. Khan ran like a ho after getting the shit beat out of him. Now I see why GBP wants to match him up with Zab instead of having him give Maidana the rematch he deserves because he knows that without a biased incompetent ref Maidana beats him up even worse.
Never like Khan myself. Talks too much for a fighter that has accomplished so little. However, I will give props where props are due. He fought a good fight and despite some scary moments deserved the win. This was against a limited slugger. For Roach and Khan himself to even delude themselves into thinking this guy could compete with the likes of Mayweather and Pacquiao shows a complete disconnect from reality. Pacquiao knocks him out without too much trouble based on what Maidana was able to accomplish, and Mayweather makes him look ridiculous. All I can see Khan doing is jumping in to throw what look like a bunch of pitty pat punches. They are fast but that is all, and that bodyshot he got on Maidana doesnt even touch May or Pac. When he jumps in to throw on May, he wont be there. And if he jumps in on Pac firepower will be returned. Khan, from every fight ive watched, is only good on those fighters that cover up everytime he jumps in. A counter puncher or someone willing to exchange will always give him fits. He aint that great, but a good win nonetheless.
"survive"? What happened to the dominant show that Shiver promised?
That Con would win every round and knock Maidana out in six?
Khan was standing on his punches in the 11th and 12th round, he ran, but didn't forget he's a fighter.
Why are people bashing on both fighters? We've had some awesome fights the last couple of weeks and both the "losers" in Katsidis and Maidana deserve to be back on HBO. That shi*t last did feel like a PPV and was worth $39.95 unlike some other PPV's this year.
it was a great fight! a remtach would b nice tho! but u know roach might talk like yea a rematch is all good but he dont want khan to fight him again its to risky. really roach wants him to fight bradley who he thinks khan can outbox
How did you manage to score the 12th round 10-8 in Maidana's favour?
Khan was out on his feet in 10 and 12.
Those were 10-8's in my book. He also won a handful of the early and middle rounds.
Maidana was basically robbed 2x by the judges and by Khortez.
Kinda like Martinez was robbed against Cintron 2x.
In reality, Khan ran for almost the whole fight it's just that he took it to a whole other level in the last rounds. In a 15 rounder he would've gotten KOd and he got hit with the harder punches all throughout the fight. I scored both the 10th and 12th rounds 10-8 for Maidana.

so did you score it a 10-8 for khan in the 2nd or 3rd round was it when maidana landed 5 punches total?
Yeah. A tactic that should've given Maidana the decision win that he earned and deserved.
lol, maidana won about 3 or 4 rounds. it wasnt like khan ran for 12 rounds! did you miss the majority of the fight? or are you choosing to forget that khan landed so many more punches and scored a knock down?
There is a difference between running because you don't want to engage, and running because you are severely hurt. It was Maidana's job to finish Khan off and he failed. Get over it, Khan put in a fantastic performance and earned a well deserved victory.

Who gives a **** what Roach said before the fight? Khan fought a nice fight for the first 9 and built up a nice lead but Maidana wouldnt stop coming and eventually landed a shot that had Khan out on his feet. Both guys did everything they could physically do to win and much respect for both.

Roach must have been showing Khan all of Gayweather running tapes.
He did what he had to do to survive the rest of the fight.

LOL look at this moron... how the **** did Maidana deserve a decision.. Khan ran most of round 10 and 11 when he got badly hurt.. in the 12th he looked far better
Robbery is what the decision was. Khan looked like he got ran over by a truck and he was all bloody and Maidana looked ready for a yearbook pic.
If he didn't run, the what 'gives'? Maidana would have finished him if he stayed there. Khan doesn't have the greatest movement so running was the most obvious option, a good tactic.
Con looked like JuanMa did against Mtagwa.
